Oversaw 30 technical staff members and $5M+ in annual revenue across several contract vehicles. Provided oversight to the various modeling and simulation, Systems Engineering Technical Assistance (SETA), and Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) projects executed by the group. Served as a senior expert for radar studies and analysis. Provided senior technical support to the Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) System Simulation and Development Directorate’s (SSDD) Rapid Scenario Prototyping laboratory (RaSP) efforts to optimize Missile Defense Agency’s scenario development process for ground tests efforts. Also supported corporate project management oversight, process standardization effort and business development efforts.

Was responsible for the persistent surveillance of all deciBel Research projects, including contract negotiation, funding, task execution and deliverables. Supported Project Leads by providing corporate services designed to provide consistency of implementation across all projects.Parallel to the execution of his role as Vice President, also served as Senior Scientist for various deciBel Research Projects. Was the technical lead for the Advanced Fusion Test Bed, an effort executed by the Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) and the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) with the sole objective of advancing leading-edge sensor fusion technology for Counter-IED Route Clearance activities. Worked with the SMDC Program Director to market tactical Counter-IED programs and ensure technical accuracy in all engineering and test activities across the Advanced Fusion Test Bed.Was the Deputy Program Manager for Real-Time Digital Signature Injection System (RDSIS2). This project sought to develop a high-detail real-time system to provide signal processing injection to BMDS radars and tactical software packages. Supported the Program Manager in project direction, customer interactions, personnel tasking and project execution.Served as the Project Lead for the Advanced Signal Processing Technologies Small Business Innovative Research effort. This project provided a prototype cluster-based solution to high-PRF pulse compression for large sample sizes. This solution also provided viable designs to solve the ‘corner-turn’ problem for pulse integration and Doppler processing. Served as Project Manager for the Theater High Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) Risk Mitigation Study. Evaluated the feasibility and benefits arising from porting the THAAD radar data and signal processing software to a distributed Linux cluster architecture. Was also responsible for the cost, schedule and customer interactions required for the successful execution of the effort.

(NG purchased XonTech Incorporated in July, 2003)Led a group of framework and modeling developers, software engineering specialists, analysts and support staff in the design, implementation and use of the Sensor Simulation Test Bed, a high fidelity, sensor-centric simulation of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) Prime Contractor architecture. Supported the design of the Prime Contractor’s LIDS simulation as a system representation of the GMD architecture. Provided an interface to the government oversight efforts in modeling and simulation with particular emphasis in the areas of sensor element modeling and the associated high fidelity verification and validation efforts. Designed the Post-Processor Tool for integration into XonTools analysis set. Assisted in defining Configuration Management and associated support tools. Established the ISO-registered software development processes for the execution of SSTB development and other SSTB-based test beds.

Designed and implemented custom software to support foreign Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) analysis including, the porting of the ALARM radar simulation to operate under the FLAMES™ architecture, the creation of multiple importers to capture legacy data, and the implementation of a Controller application to give users influence over the Monte Carlo executions of the simulation. Communicated with Sony Computer Entertainment in the quest to provide a visual interface to the analysis of the IADS system on the Sony PlayStation platform. Taught 5-day training class on the use of the FLAMES product. Implemented enhancements to the FLAMES architecture including, but not limited to, DTED and DEM digital terrain intersection algorithms, script parsing improvements, and antenna extensions for independent transmit and receive antenna representations.

Responsible for design and execution of data reduction of White Sands flight tests of the THAAD/GBR system. Presented results of each 72-hour analysis to the local THAAD Project Office, MIT/Lincoln Laboratory, and Raytheon sites at White Sands and Bedford. Designed and developed the GBR Testbed tool set for data reduction, analysis and verification of exit criteria. Designed and developed GBR-SASE, a real-time emulator for ultra-fidelity radar signature production utilizing a massively parallel computer (MasPar). Assisted in the development of the Surveillance Testbed, including the evaluation and design of new algorithm test articles (particularly Kalman Trackers, Chi-square Associators and Pulse Schedulers). Developed additional simulation systems, resulting in the roll-out of GBR-SASS (radar signature simulator) and GBR-Tracker (Kalman track simulator). Developed several post-processing viewers, namely SCOPE, SIX-DOF and X-Grapher, to allow for data visualization and analysis.
